[HTCondor-users] ERROR: No file transfer attributes in job ad, aborting

[Hugh Jennings <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We are new to HT Condor and learning how to configure the cluster and our job submissions via the Web API. The cluster machines are all linux machines and the submission is being done from a Window's program. The job gets accepted fine but the job never runs properly.

The problem appears to be that the Starter daemon believes a file must be transferred to the host machine and it has not been told how to do the transfer (error message is the subject of the post). This is a problem because we are using centralized storage with all cluster members accessing a common file system. NO files should need to be transferred.

How do we tell Condor that no input files need to be transferred?

Thanks
